Thanks for the recommendation @albert_d . I’ll have to check it out. I’m always looking for something motivating to read.

@Stwagner1982 Vacation sounds wonderful – Hope you had a good time. Its tru that you can’t go back to the previous month. If you happen to know you’ll be out of town without access to the end of month lessons, favorite the lesson by clicking on the heart. It will then be available under favorites in your profile. Another way is to find out if anyone saved the Tabs and will provide them to you. If you know the name of the lesson, you can always search other’s favorites. I tend to favorite all the lessons, so feel free to check them out. Unfortunately I don’t know the names of the lessons to help. As pointed out, the lessons typically rotate back around about every 8 months or so.

@JEJ Welcome to TAC, and congratulations on completing the 30 days to play course. I was in a depression during COVID with the isolation, and I was the sole caregiver for my mother (who lived with me) with dementia. I needed something that was fun and enjoyable, as well as social and just for me. I had never played guitar before joining TAC, and I was at a loss as to how to start. Luckily for me, Tony’s marketing caught my attention almost immediately, and I was drawn in. I’ve played daily for nearly 3 years. It has been a lot of ups and downs, but mainly ups. I still get excited about playing. I lost my mother 1 1/2 years ago, and just as TAC was there to bring me through COVID & my mothers dementia, it has been there through the loss of her too & the fact that I’m still working at home full time. So glad it’s here for you too.

You just amaze me not only with your ability to write great lyrics @Fletch , but the compositions you come up with. How do you determine the chord progressions you’re going to use. Do you have a tune in your head when you inits Begin putting the music together? Really enjoyed this one. I noodle every day at lunch. It’s when I get the most practice in.

@charlie_d I was wondering what guitar that was. Sounds great. Your composition sounded very Spanish/western – lol – never heard of a Spanish western tune before. It reminded me of a caper of some sort. Great job!

[Loraine]

Sounded great @charlie_d . Was very summery.

[Loraine]

@charlie_d Loved the chord at the end. You definitely worked the entire neck with the scale. I liked the sound against the backing track.

[Loraine]

Well done @DiscostewLA ! I’m not familiar with the song, but I enjoyed it. The picking sounds challenging at that speed.

I get Zager marketing all the time, and I’m intrigued – just not enough to spend the money without being able to play one, which are supposed to be very easy to play based on their set up. Don’t they have a 30 day, postage paid money back guarantee? Can’t lose by ordering one and checking it out. I’d be interested in your experience.

[Loraine]

You mean 3/4 size @tern ? It shouldn’t change the way you learn. You probably won’t be able to play the really high frets, but that’s okay.

[Loraine]

Thank you @OhWowMan !

[Loraine]

Really appreciate it @GregL !

[Loraine]

@albert_d Thank you! Yeah, I’ve gotten a little better. Long road, but just think where I might be next year.

[Loraine]

Thank you so much @HowardM . As I said when introducing the video, the strum pattern/rhythm was the most difficult aspect of the song. Glad it comes across well.

[Loraine]

👍😁 That’s exciting. Congrats, and I can’t wait to hear about your thoughts and experience with it. Which one did you order?l
